I always love a good speakeasy bar. The mystery, the throwback to prohibition, and the funky cocktails. The Library on Keong Saik Road checks all of those boxes.

When they announced the pop-up Central Perk cafe in New York in 2014, my friend and I waited in line for almost 3 hours to get our…… Continue reading I’ll Be There For You at Central Perk

I love Southern comfort food but haven’t quite mastered how to cook my favorite dishes (yet!). To fulfill my Southern cravings, the boyfriend and I came went hunting for some good ole barbecue and came across Red Eye smokehouse. Red Eye Smokehouse takes their meats very seriously and the meats are smoked for 12 hours. They…… Continue reading Southern Cravings at Red Eye Smokehouse
